When Ada Harris gets news that her husband is missing, Ada sets her sights on owning a Dior dress, she scrimps and saves, working her fingers to the bone, and when she arrives in Paris, she discovers that not everyone is so warm to her dream.
I feared it would be a pale comparison to the original adaptation with Angela Lansbury, my genuine view, is that they surpassed it, this movie is quite genuinely captivating. I was not expecting it to be quite this good.
A rags to haute couture story, a film for the entire family to enjoy, this is a film that young and old can enjoy.
It's a fairytale with a twist, it is a real time Disney movie, with Ada fighting the odds to reach her dream, that dream of course to own a piece of legendary haute couture, a Dior dress.
The story is a little different to what I had expected, Ada is given quite a lot of backstory, and she is given a huge depth by the incredible Lesley Manville.
Gloriously acted, a terrific cast, everyone plays their part, Alba Baptista is captivating as Natasha, not only is she genuinely beautiful, classically beautiful, but she is a wonderful actress, she makes the character so sincere.
Sublime.
10/10.
